Siheyuan: Domineering life

Chapter 121 The second uncle comes to visit

"Second uncle, there are two jobs, you choose one."

"One works at a grain station, and the other works at a steel rolling mill."

Yang Jun knew the purpose of the visit of the second uncle and his son, so he didn't hide it and went straight to the point.

When the second uncle Liu Haizhong heard this, his face suddenly became happy. He thought it was difficult enough to get a job quota, but he didn't expect that this job still had to be chosen.

The second uncle thought for a moment and did not make a decision. Instead, he turned back to Liu Guangqi and his wife and said,

"Guangqi, your Junzi brother worked very hard and finally got a job quota. You two can choose between yourselves."

If there were no jobs to choose from, the second uncle could make the decision, but with two jobs in front of him, he didn't dare to make the decision without permission, fearing that his son and daughter-in-law would not be happy, so he simply gave them the choice.

In fact, there is no choice here. Anyone who doesn't have a Vata brain knows how to choose.

The grain station and the steel rolling mill are not units of the same level. Moreover, the grain station does not have any technical requirements. It deals with grain every day, so it is difficult to have room for improvement. However, the steel rolling mill is different. Even if you start as an ordinary worker, there are still more jobs every year. In skills assessment, as long as you practice hard and carefully, your position and salary can be improved.

In fact, the second uncle is really hoping that Liu Guangqi can choose the job of the steel rolling mill. When the time comes, with his interpersonal relationships, he will transfer his son to his own workshop and teach him step by step. I am afraid that in a few years, he will be able to earn 50 yuan a piece. It’s been months.

Liu Guangqi seemed to have difficulty choosing, and he was also a little henpecked. He didn't know how to choose, so he turned to his daughter-in-law Wang Juan for help.

Wang Juan seemed to be used to being domineering, she didn't even discuss it and just said it directly.

"Brother Junzi, let's choose the steel rolling mill."

Yang Jun also expected their choice.

The reason why he proposed two jobs for them to choose from was to show them his abilities, and also to thank the second uncle for his support and help during this period.

"Second uncle, you know that our steel rolling mill has good welfare, and everyone works hard to get in, so Brother Guangqi can only start as an apprentice, but... with your second uncle's ability as a seventh-level blacksmith, I think it will be no problem for Brother Guangqi to become a regular employee."

It's not that Yang Jun couldn't get a regular worker quota, but with his status as deputy director of the Logistics Department, it wouldn't be a problem to get ten, let alone one official worker quota.

But he can't do that.

As the saying goes: when rice rises, kindness fights against rice.

You should also have a certain attitude when helping others.

There are countless people outside who have tried their best to get an apprenticeship spot, let alone a regular worker spot.

He can give Liu Guangqi an apprenticeship, which is worthy of them. As for the annual skills assessment, it depends on whether Liu Guangqi can pass it.

When the second uncle heard this, he understood that Yang Jun was telling the truth. He also knew how difficult it was to get a formal job quota. Over the years, he had spent a lot of time and hundreds of dollars working for Liu Guangqi. I didn't get a job quota.

Now that Yang Jun has given him an apprenticeship, he is very grateful. However, for him, although apprenticeships are somewhat different from regular workers, to him, the difference is really not big.

With his own ability, can he still let Liu Guangqi become a regular employee?

"Junzi, the second uncle understands that you have tried your best. I, Old Liu, will keep your help to our family in mind."

"Brother Junzi, thank you. If you ask anything in the future, I, Liu Guangqi, will never frown."

Liu Guangqi and his wife echoed from the side.

"There's no need to say more polite words. We all live in the same courtyard, so it would be great if you can help." Yang Jun waved his hand.At this time, the second uncle saw that the matter was almost over, he reached into his pocket, and then handed a handful of banknotes to Yang Jun.

"Junzi, the second uncle also knows that you spent a lot of favors here. Use this little money to treat your friends to a meal."

Yang Jun saw the second uncle's wad of money, which looked like at least five hundred yuan.

In fact, the second uncle also paid according to the market price. A formal worker's place in the steel rolling mill was only worth this price, and that was only if someone was willing to transfer the place.

When an old man in the factory retires, it is usually his son who inherits his father's business, and his job quota will naturally be filled by his children. If there is no one in the retired worker's family to replace him, the job quota can be sold.

Naturally, Yang Jun would not accept his money. It would be unreasonable to accept money from others for what he had promised before. What's more, it was useless for him to ask for money.

He pointed to the snacks and drinks brought by the second uncle and said,

"Second uncle, just keep these things. As for the money, you should keep it."

"Then it won't work. Junzi, please help me. Second uncle, I can't let you pay for it, so you should keep the money."

Yang Jun waved his hand: "Second uncle, let's not be polite between us. If you do this again, I'll let it go."

When the second uncle heard this, he was shocked. Seeing Yang Jun's serious look, he quickly took the money back. However, Yang Jun accepted the snacks and drinks, and he felt relieved.

"Then...junzi, the second uncle won't be polite to you anymore."

Afterwards, everyone chatted casually for a while before the second uncle and the three of them left.

After Yang Jun sent them away, he kicked the gifts brought by the second uncle, two bottles of Wuliangye, eight kilograms of snacks from Yanqingzhai, several kilograms of sausages and other things.

Yang Jun was not interested in these things, so he called Yang Liu and asked her to move all these things to the old house.

Yang Jun just wanted to bask in the sun at the door.

Suddenly, he found Xu Damao walking across the street with a smile on his face.

He walked to Yang Jun and said with a smile.

"Master, please do me a favor."

Yang Jun glanced at him, then sat on the steps, leaning against a pillar, finding a comfortable position and squinting in the sun.

"If you have something to say, if you have something to say, don't come to me in vain."

Even though Xu Damao keeps calling him "big man" and often flatters him in the yard, Yang Jun knows that Xu Damao is a white-eyed wolf, and he is also the kind of Zhongshan wolf who doesn't recognize his relatives. He can personally lead people to copy his father-in-law. I'm afraid I won't be merciful to others.

Yang Jun didn't think that he would be so attentive to him for nothing, and he didn't think he would be kind to him.

"Cough...cough..."

When Xu Damao heard this, he coughed a few times and said with some embarrassment,
"Master, it's like this. You see, I have been working as a projectionist in the steel rolling mill for more than ten years. Can you give me a promotion? I also want to learn from you and pursue progress."

When Xu Damao saw Yang Jun being indifferent, he quickly continued: "There is no need to raise him too high. Just be a small cadre like Silly Zhu."

Yang Jun rolled his eyes at him.

Xu Damao, what are you trying to do? Do you know how difficult it is to switch from one job to another?
This is a natural chasm. Some people have struggled all their lives but have never been able to cross that hurdle. You can do whatever you want to do, right?
